Xpander Raises $7.5M Seed to Help Enterprises Become AI-Native

Xpander Raises $7.5 Million Seed to Enable Enterprise AI Adoption

San Francisco-based AI infrastructure startup Xpander has raised $7.5 million in Seed funding to help enterprises build, deploy and manage AI agents across their existing infrastructure.

The round was led by Pico Venture Partners, with participation from Emerge Ventures, Samsung Next and SeedIL.

Founded by former AWS Principal Engineers David Twizer, Ran Sheinberg and Moriel Pahima, Xpander is building a vendor-neutral platform designed to help enterprises adopt AI without compromising security, compliance or infrastructure flexibility.

Building an Enterprise AI Foundation

Xpander aims to address the gap between widespread AI experimentation and meaningful enterprise deployment.

Its platform is designed to work across major cloud environments, AI models and frameworks, allowing organizations to build and manage AI agents within their existing environments.

The company says its approach helps enterprises move beyond isolated AI tools and build AI directly into workflows and business processes.

Introducing Omni

Alongside the funding announcement, Xpander introduced Omni, its flagship enterprise AI agent and agentic Forward Deployed Engineer.

Omni is designed to simplify complex tasks and support autonomous and collaborative multi-agent workflows.

Xpander says Omni achieved a 90.9% score on the GAIA benchmark.

The platform can be used to create AI teammates for employees, enable teams to build their own agents and integrate AI into business processes.

Vendor-Neutral Agent Infrastructure

At the core of Xpander's platform is a universal agent harness designed to operate across different AI models, frameworks and cloud environments.

The infrastructure allows AI agents to run as portable workloads within a customer's own environment while providing centralized visibility and lifecycle management.

This architecture is intended to give enterprises greater flexibility over how their AI applications are built, deployed and governed.

Targeting Enterprise AI Adoption

Xpander says its platform is already being used by global enterprises across retail, manufacturing, financial services, technology and government.

The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate market expansion and increase adoption of its enterprise AI enablement platform.

Xpander is positioning itself as infrastructure for organizations moving toward AI-native operations, rather than another standalone AI application.

The company's platform and Omni are available today, with the startup focused on helping enterprises move AI agents from experimentation into production.
